Giant mixed Sertoli-Leydig-Granulosa sex cord tumor of the testis; clinical, histopathological, and radiological features: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sex cord tumors of the testis in post pubertal men are rare. Mixed leydig-Sertoli-Granulosa sex cord tumors are exceptionally rare. To the best of our knowledge there are only three reported similar cases in the literature. We reported a case of a 27-year-old male who presented with huge left scrotal mass of 6-years duration. The gross tumor specimen after resection measured 11 cm in diameter. Histological examination revealed mixed sex cord stromal tumor. This case demonstrates the limited ability of accurate diagnostic determination preoperatively, with pathologic examination and immune-histochemical staining post-orchiectomy representing the only definitive means of diagnosis. It also highlights the unique radiological appearances of this tumor, which were not previously reported in literature.

Sex-cord stromal tumours account for only about 6% of testicular neoplasms.' Leydig cell tumour is the commonest sub-type but other tissues that can be represented in varying amounts and degrees of differentiation include Sertoli, granulosa and theca-lutein elements. Testicular granulosa-cell tumour ofthe adult type is particularly uncommon. This report details a mixed sex-cord stromal tumour o...
متن کاملSertoli-leydig cell tumor of ovary- a diagnostic dilemma.
Sertoli Leydig Cell Tumours (SLCTs) are rare, unilateral, sex cord stromal tumours of ovary, which constitute less than 1% of all the ovarian neoplasms. These tumours can be functionally diverse and they may have heterologous elements. We aim to report a case of a 25-year- old woman who presented with suprapubic pain of 5 days duration, a unilateral adnexal mass, hypertestosteronism without vir...
متن کاملNuclear Localization of β-Catenin in Sertoli Cell Tumors and Other Sex Cord-Stromal Tumors of the Testis: An Immunohistochemical Study of 87 Cases.
The diagnosis and subclassification of Sertoli cell tumors (SCT) of the testis are often challenging to general surgical pathologists because of the rarity of the tumors. Immunohistochemical study to date has limited diagnostic value. Nuclear localization of β-catenin, which correlated closely with CTNNB1 gene mutation, was recently reported in SCTs. We investigated the utility of β-catenin nuc...
متن کاملSclerosing Stromal Tumor: A Rare Ovarian Neoplasm
Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors are relatively infrequent neoplasms that account for approximately 8% of all primary ovarian neoplasm. Sex cord-stromal tumors of the ovary include granulosa cell tumors, fibrothecomas, Sertoli-Leydigcell tumors, steroid cell tumors, and sclerosing stromal tumors (SST). Sclerosing stromal tumors account for 2% to 6% of ovarian stromal tumors. Despite the rarity o...

Surface epithelial-stromal tumors are the most common neoplasm of ovary in the reproductive age and beyond. Less than 1% of epithelial ovarian tumors occur before the age of 21 years while 75% of sexcord stromal tumors (Sertoli and Leydig Cell) occur in the third and fourth decades of life. Serous tumors rarely occur in combination with germ cell tumors, sex-cord stromal tumors or granulosa cel...
